Before he could even get the flashlight, Mr. Rose instantly moved in front of Su Er and grabbed his shoulders and shook him: "Do you know what you are doing?"
In all my years of hosting career, I have never seen anyone with such ideas!
The host had been enjoying the show the entire time, but when he suddenly saw this exasperated look, Su Er couldn't help but smile. However, he quickly controlled his facial expression and said, "I don't think I've broken any rules."
In other words, a novice in a low-difficulty field dares to make such an attempt. If he successfully survives this time, he will never do such a dangerous act again.
Xuanyuan Ao Yu understood what was going on and gave him a look of gratitude. The other party had taken a risk for him.
Su Er didn't say much. He wasn't one to meddle in other people's affairs, and even indifference permeated his bones. However, in order not to lose his humanity, he always acted according to the established principles.
If during their time together, Xuanyuan Ao Yu intended to find a scapegoat, or finally ignored his request and gave up telling stories to the child, with the idea of everyone dying together, Su Er would definitely watch him commit suicide.
"I found the flashlight!" Li Li ran over, opened it and handed it to him.
A single beam of light illuminated the darkness. The first night was spent in a state of panic and a struggle for survival, with few truly paying attention to the outside world. As a small area came into focus, a single thought crossed everyone's mind: I'm glad I didn't look yesterday.
In the empty space, the child no longer pretended to sleep. His body felt like compressed foam, his arms occasionally denting into the shapes of coins. Even through the window, one could imagine the sound of bones cracking. However, his recovery ability was remarkable, and his body quickly returned to normal. Instead, he opened his mouth wide, chewing at the air.
Xuanyuan Ao Yu got goose bumps all over his body. Although he felt despair for a moment and wanted to rush out, he only realized how terrifying it was when he saw it with his own eyes.
Being bitten to death by a wolf might be better than having your internal organs crushed to pieces.
Zhang He narrowed his eyes: "He seems to be moving a little bit."
It only advanced a few centimeters at a time, but it was indeed crawling towards the door.
Soul turned off the flashlight: "There's not much time left."
You can't go out after midnight, and there are less than three hours left.
After saying this, he looked at Xuanyuan Ao Yu and said, "Even if he is locked outside, it doesn't necessarily mean that the embodiment of the horror story won't appear at night."
Xuanyuan Ao Yu calmed down a lot and nodded: "I know."
This is the best situation right now, at least it allows people to see some hope of survival.
They dispersed and began to look for clues again. Su Er suddenly felt cold all over. When he turned around, he saw Mr. Rose staring at him with his eyes motionless.
Killing intent... This time I could truly feel the other party's murderous intent.
Su Er pointed outside the door: "That child is not related to you at all."
A petal seemed to be about to fall, and Rose Gentleman's face turned grim. "If anything happens to him, this instance will collapse."
Soul: "Will I die?"
"nonsense."
Soul: "Will you die?"
Rose Gentleman: "That's even more nonsense."
It is equivalent to the collapse of a small world, and no life inside can escape.
Soul stepped forward and hugged the air in front of him: "Then we are a friendship that has lived and died together."
"…"
Bend your fingers: "I love you."
"…"
You are so young, why don't you be a human being?
Unable to find an opportunity to kill him for the time being, Gentleman Yue found a shady corner upstairs and stood there, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Soul didn't follow him upstairs, instead sitting on the sofa and flipping through the brochure again. The chapter on demons and monsters clearly outlined how to deal with them. With a Strength value over 150, they could deal a certain amount of damage. In other words, if they were powerful enough, they could even kill the boss.
This contradicts what the host just said.
Soul lowered his eyes. There was no reason for Mr. Moon to lie, and the brochure seemed logical. After all, if the premise was that the ghosts could not be eliminated, it would be a dead end.
He stood up and walked to the child's bed. The blood stains on the mattress reminded him of what happened in the morning... It was understandable for ghosts to eat people, but what about eating oneself?
"Look at this." Zhang He came over with a few photos in his hand. "It's under the statue."
Suer looked at him deeply. They were both human beings, but the other person was fine when he lifted the statue to get the photo. On the other hand, he almost got into trouble when he just glanced at a family photo in the bedroom.
When friends take photos together, they instinctively move closer to show intimacy. In this photo, everyone sits perfectly still, their smiles twitching slightly, not a single tooth showing.
"They must be members of a cult," Zhang He said with disgust, "and there seem to be quite a lot of them."
Su Er suddenly looked up at Mr. Yue upstairs and asked, "Can more than one person stay in the same room at night?"
Gentleman Rose said impatiently: "The only rule in this place is that you can't go out after midnight."
His answer confirmed the instructions in the brochure, saying that the host would explain the rules clearly and they were trustworthy in this regard.
Zhang He: "Want to live together?"
On the first night, everyone subconsciously thought that something would happen to Suer, so no one asked any questions.
Su Er nodded: "Xuanyuan Ao Yu lives across from you. I will go with you tonight and see what happens."
Xuanyuan Ao Yu happened to come out of the bathroom and spread his hands helplessly: "You really love to do experiments."
Outside the window, the child was still struggling to move towards the door. Xuanyuan Ao Yu was afraid at first, but now seeing this scene, he suddenly felt that the other party was just a guinea pig in the eyes of others, just like himself.
In comparison, this monster doesn't seem so scary.
"I don't know what will happen tonight," Su Er said bluntly, "We will do our best to help within our capabilities, but if it's too difficult, you'll have to fend for yourself."
Xuanyuan Ao Yu nodded, which was very caring. After all, no one thought of helping Sul yesterday.
He went to the kitchen and got a rusty kitchen knife, and Sul also got a fruit knife and took out a hammer from the cabinet.
After entering the room, he started to fiddle with the door.
Zhang He wondered: "What?"
"Dig a hole." Su Er asked, "Can we observe through the crack of the door at night?"
Zhang He: "What if something outside notices us?"
Su Er: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and the person it's looking for tonight is Xuanyuan Ao Yu."
Xuanyuan Ao Yu, who had not yet had time to enter the door, felt as if his heart was stabbed, but he could not find the words to refute.
To observe the children's movements outside, Su Er deliberately drew aside the curtains. Moonlight streamed in, illuminating the area in front of the bed. Although it was cold, Zhang He felt as if his body was being scorched. He stood up and sat in another area.
It was only a few minutes before midnight. Zhang He rubbed his hands nervously. He saw Suer leaning against the door, and from time to time he took the time to look at the brochure to check for any omissions.
"..." Zhang He: "Aren't you afraid?"
Su Er said nonsense: "I have been attracting bad things since I was a child. I was still young at that time and foolishly told everyone about it. People around me regarded me as an alien, but over time I got used to it."
After imagining the scene, Zhang He looked sympathetic and said, "That's pretty tragic."
After midnight, the corridor was still very quiet. Suer stood there for about half an hour, feeling a little tired, and returned to the bed to rest.
Zhang He exhaled a breath of foul air: "It should be fine now."
I remember that I heard the sound of a snake crawling just after midnight last night.
Su Er frowned and asked the question hidden in his heart: "There was a mass suicide in this villa, but so far I am the only one who has encountered the ghost of the villa's mistress. Where are the souls of the other deceased?"
Zhang He was stunned for a second and nearly jumped out of bed. "Mass suicide? The ghost of the hostess?"
When did this happen?
Suhl pulled the photo out of his pocket, but it was wrapped in thick paper and completely unrecognizable.
Zhang He was about to pick it up to look at it when Su Er said, "I flushed it several times in the toilet."
"…" Zhang He withdrew his hand in disappointment.
"Turn your back first." Su Er was about to remove the paper wrapped around it: "This photo has the ability to confuse people."
Zhang He turned around quickly.
Su Er said sinisterly, "You have to be a little cautious. What if I suddenly stab you?"
"..." Zhang He felt a chill on his back and shivered, saying, "Don't be fooled by it."
"During my senior year of high school, I practiced five years of college entrance exams and three years of mock exams every day." Suer emphasized, "My willpower is very strong."
"…"
The woman in the photo was so angry that she had lost her temper and stared straight ahead with a numb expression.
"Where did those people who committed suicide with you go?"
"I don't know." The woman said, "When I regained consciousness, I was trapped here." Her tone became horrified. "Oh, and there's also the demon that possessed my child's body. It once tried to devour me."
"And then?"
Woman: "It suddenly became weak again. I can't explain it."
A shrill voice reached his ears. Thinking of the scene of Su Er talking to the ghost, Zhang He shuddered: "Can I turn around?"
To prevent the photo from causing trouble and tempting the other party to commit cannibalism, Soul rewrapped it and put it in his pocket, then said slowly, "Okay."
Zhang He looked at him with a complicated expression: "Now I believe it, you really are popular with those things."
This is exactly the effect Suer wanted.
At two o'clock, nothing happened. To conserve his energy, Zhang He lay down on the bed and tossed and turned several times: "What should I do if I can't sleep?"
Soul began to sing: "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby..."
The singing spread throughout the room.
Zhang He hugged the quilt tightly: "...Stop singing."
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he thought he could hear the sound of bones being squeezed and broken and then restored outside. He couldn't help but whisper, "Is the window closed?"
Su Er was studying the photos Zhang He had found. Without even looking up, he said, "Turn it off."
"Oh, I still can't sleep." Zhang He twisted and turned like a maggot, and the rustling sound of the quilt gave people a headache.
Soul: "If you don't sleep well, the big bad wolf will come and eat you."
"…"Can we still get along happily?
